Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Reserve 6 caramels and set aside. Melt butter and the remaining caramels in a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl for 1 to 2 minutes until caramels are melted. Stir in peanut butter and salt until smooth.
- Beat sugar, eggs, corn syrup and vanilla in a large mixer bowl with electric mixer until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add caramel mixture, baking powder and baking soda.
- Gradually add flour; mix until well blended. Set aside 1/2 cup chocolate chips; stir in remaining chips.
- Spread batter into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup chocolate chips evenly over the batter. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes until golden brown, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Microwave remaining caramels and 1 teaspoon water until caramels have melted. Drizzle over warm bars. Allow bars to cool on a wire rack.
